Amazon rainforest adjusts to long-term experimental drought
Drought-induced mortality is expected to cause substantial biomass loss in the Amazon basin. However, rainforest responses to prolonged drought are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that an Amazonian rainforest plot subjected to more than two decades of large-scale experimental drought reached eco-hydrological stability. After elevated tree mortality during the first 15 years, ecosystem-level structural changes resulted in the remaining tree…
Amazon could survive long-term drought but at a high cost, study suggests
The Amazon rainforest may be able to survive long-term drought caused by climate change, but adjusting to a drier, warmer world would exact a heavy toll, a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution suggests.
Degraded by the environment, extreme climate events and large buildings are in the middle of the forest east the distance from the conv vio with nature, even in rivers with rich biodiversity, such as the Amazon nai. Read more (05/17/2025
Scientists have been aware for some time that the number of tropical birds has been declining. In general, this has been attributed to the destruction and fragmentation of forests. However, a study from 2020 has shown that the populations of certain bird species that live in still unspoilt regions of the Amazon region have also declined. Scientists from Brazilian and North American institutions have [...] The post study: Climate change affects b…
